2015 Map of Red Creek Ranch

About this map

Red Creek Ranch and its namesake basin define the center of this 2015 high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of seasonal drainages including Red Creek, Little Red Creek, and Lizzie Spring Creek that carve through the surrounding highlands. Notable landmarks such as the Red Creek Ranch Airport and remote outposts like Petes Place indicate the land's contemporary use for ranching and resource management. To the south, the Tepee Mountains and Pine Mountain rise above the flats of Dodge Meadows. Human engineering is evident in the John Erickson Reservoir, providing a critical water source in a region where Alkali Springs and other mineral-heavy water features are common. The map also traces the winding passage of Telephone Canyon through the northern townships.
